Chapter 163 Later is Liu Shi Tao Ying

 Tao Ying's eyebrows narrowed, and she didn't look dissatisfied at all, but her watery almond-shaped eyes were always staring blankly at the weak look of Young Master Liu.

"Good sister, don't look at me like this! I feel scared when you look like this."

"You yourself promised me a few days ago, saying that you would meet all my requirements, sister.

No matter what, you must help me find a hairpin that my sister likes! Do you want to go back on your word?

They all say you have no business..."

Tao Ying realized the current situation and quickly changed her words: "They say that a man must do what he says and his actions must be resolute. You don't break your word, do you?

But if you really want to regret it, there is nothing my sister can do to you.

At the worst, I can just buy a hairpin and forget about it, as long as I don’t let you accompany me."

Listening to Tao Ying's resentful words, Liu Mingzhi felt a knot in his heart, and secretly thought that it was forbidden to do evil, and he would not be able to survive if he did it himself.

"No, no, of course I won't break my word to my good sister.

Since I have already agreed to your request, dear sister, I will definitely keep my word.

Isn’t it just a trip to Chengkangfang again? What’s the big deal? Sister, please!”

Tao Ying's resentful expression immediately put on a smile, she took the initiative to hold Mr. Liu's arm and walked out of the shop with a smile on her face, not caring at all that such an intimate behavior would attract the attention of passers-by.

Although Dalong's folk customs are open, they are far from comparable to those of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties in its previous life.

However, such intimate behavior between men and women, such as holding each other's arms, mostly only occurs on the nights of some grand festivals.

For example, the Lantern Festival and the Chinese Valentine's Day.

It is not unusual for lovers to hold hands and hold each other's arms when traveling to the lake together.

As for broad daylight, under the clear sky, although there may be such intimate scenes, after all, they are only a minority.

For example, the lovers of love for each other in the world will not be too rigid in these details.

Exhausted physically and mentally, Young Master Liu was like a tool, letting Tao Ying hold her arm and drag her towards Chengkangfang, not bothering to pay attention to the looks of passers-by.

Even if he wasn't exhausted physically and mentally, Liu Mingzhi wouldn't mind.

After all, Tao Ying, a daughter, doesn't care about these potentially eye-catching details, let alone a seven-foot-tall man!

However, Mr. Liu, who was already too tired to think about anything, did not notice the fleeting snicker on Tao Ying's lips when she walked out of the store.

I thought that this trip to Chengkangfang would allow Tao Ying to buy a hairpin that she liked at a suitable price. However, Liu Mingzhi was disappointed. After browsing through seven famous jewelry stores in Chengkangfang, Tao Ying still couldn't find the right one.

hairpin.

At this moment, Liu Mingzhi was as tired as a dog.

It's not that he is really physically tired. After all, Young Master Liu has served in the army for many years. He has been in and out of the army. In order to win, he traveled hundreds of miles to launch night attacks. It was just a common occurrence for Liu Mingzhi.

The reason why I feel tired is because my heart is tired.

He didn't understand, it was just a hairpin for decoration, how could there be so many things in it.

Eighty percent of the hairpins are carved from birds, animals, flowers, plants, and trees. Can't any one of them be used to decorate a bun?

The price is too high and the money is not enough. If the money is enough, you feel that the quality of the hairpin is not good.

What kind of hairpin do you want?

Tao Ying did not give a reasonable reply to the questions raised by Liu Mingzhi on the way.

Because even she herself didn't know why she was dissatisfied with those cheap hairpins. The reason why she said she was dissatisfied was simply dissatisfaction.

Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to complain about Tao Ying's answer.

After all, whenever I want to regret it, Tao Ying's delicate, resentful and pitiful appearance can always accurately defeat the last line of defense in my heart.

Anyway, Liu Mingzhi would never admit that the reason why he could still go shopping with Tao Ying until now was because of the promise she made shyly when she was in Chengkangfang that she would let you pick it up after she returned home.

That would make you look so lustful.

After walking and wandering, the two figures finally appeared in Xing'anfang, their starting point. At this time, the setting sun on the horizon had only the last ray of afterglow left.

"Good sister, we walked around for a long time and finally returned to Xing'anfang where you live, but you haven't found the hairpin you want yet. Maybe it's God's will that doesn't want us to be perfect.

How about I advance the money myself and buy you a high-quality hairpin as a birthday gift?

You insist on using the one or two and a half silver earned by your little brother from fortune-telling to buy a hairpin of high quality that will satisfy you. How is this possible?

You must know that you get what you pay for, and this applies wherever you go.”

Tao Ying raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, shook her head stubbornly with a pretty face, and pulled Young Master Liu towards the end of Renhe Street in Xing'anfang with a leisurely smile.

"The last one, if we can't buy it anymore, we will go home."

Liu Dashao's body trembled, and his eyes were bright as he looked at Tao Ying's beautiful face with a smile: "Really?"

"Of course, although sister is just a little girl, she can still keep her word!"

Liu Mingzhi took a gentle breath and suddenly felt that the fatigue accumulated for most of the day was gone.

He took the initiative to grab Tao Ying's wrist with his backhand and speed up, his eyes scanning the shops on both sides of the street like a detector.

Shun Xin Ru Yi Jewelry Shop.

When these six big characters came into view, Mr. Liu took Tao Ying directly and took the initiative to walk towards the store as if he had been given a shot of blood.

"Two guests, it's an unlucky time for you to come. The shop will be closing soon... Mrs. Li, it turns out it's you who are here."

Tao Ying's cheeks turned red as she broke away from Liu Mingzhi's hand and bowed to the fifty-year-old shopkeeper.

"My little girl has met Mr. Dong, the shopkeeper, and she is polite."

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Madam, I don't want to be polite. I don't dare to treat you like this."

"Old shopkeeper, my little girl's hairpin?"

"Don't worry, madam, I've already prepared it.

Madam, please wait a moment, I will go get the goods for you right away for inspection."

The old shopkeeper looked at the dumbfounded Young Master Liu curiously, then turned and walked behind the counter, bending down to rummage around.

After a while, the old shopkeeper handed a jewelry box to Tao Ying and opened the lid.

"Mrs. Li, please take a look and see if the workmanship of the hairpin can meet your requirements."

Tao Ying lowered her head slightly and her eyes fell on the hosta in the jewelry box. The hosta in the box was a bud of cherry blossoms that was about to bloom, giving people a feeling that it was about to bloom.

The texture of the hosta can only be described as ordinary, but the carving of the hosta is absolutely superior craftsmanship.

Tao Ying, a pretty lady who was used to seeing all kinds of expensive jewelry, couldn't help but light up when she saw the hosta.

Tao Ying nodded with satisfaction, raised her hand and took out a sling of copper coins tied with a red string from her purse and handed it to the old shopkeeper.

"Old shopkeeper Dong, the price I gave you this time has made you suffer. I hope the old shopkeeper won't mind it."

The old shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "Mrs. Li is serious, you have bought so many jewelry from Xiao Lao'er in the past two years, and Xiao Lao'er always took advantage of you in terms of price.

It is rare for Mrs. Li to specifically ask the little old man for this. How dare the little old man care?

Since the quality of this hairpin satisfies Mrs. Li, the little old man is relieved.

As for the money, forget it, the New Year is coming soon, just treat it as a little token of appreciation for me, Madam, just take it and wear it."

"No, no, no, the old shopkeeper deserves this. How dare I break the contract?

Old shopkeeper, please stop being polite to your little girl."

The old shopkeeper stopped being polite and took a bunch of copper coins handed to him by Tao Ying.

"This... this little old man is disrespectful."

"It's just a matter of course. I would like to ask the old shopkeeper if he has issued the invoice for the hairpin price according to my daughter's request?"

"Wait a moment, madam, I will get it for you right away."

In a moment, the old shopkeeper pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper from the account book on the counter and handed it to Tao Ying's hand.

"Mrs. Li, the ticket was issued exactly as requested by the lady. Do you want to take a look at it?"

Tao Ying smiled and shook her head, took the ticket from the old shopkeeper and put it in her purse: "No, I can trust the old shopkeeper.

From now on, if the old shopkeeper calls his daughter again, he will just call her Mrs. Liu!"

"Ah? Mrs. Liu...Ms. Liu?"

"Yes, Liu's Tao Ying."

The old shopkeeper glanced at Mr. Liu, nodded with understanding, and bowed to Tao Ying.

"It's easy for me, little old man. I've met Mrs. Liu."

Tao Ying smiled sweetly and patted the purse on her waist gently: "Since we have already received all the money and goods, I won't delay the old shopkeeper's closing."

"Okay, okay, I would like to send you Mrs. Li and this gentleman."
